I feel your frustration, but...A $50k bond isn't going to go far these days.

Settling "outside of insurance" isn't a good idea either...you have no recourse when the other driver says "I ain't paying".

Whacking them with a baseball bat? Here in FLA we're allowed to shoot if attacked thanks to the new "stand your ground law". No requirement to retreat. You would most likely be shot if you pulled a baseball bat on someone here, regardless of who started it.

Furthermore, if you pull a baseball bat in Calif. you will certainly be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and, if you hit the person, attempted murder. So...you've turned a simple traffic accident into a jail sentence.

My advice? Buy a good insurance policy and take some Paxil...
